A lot of the tradecraft of covert operations was used as they stealthily crept up to and captured the Supreme Court and now instructed in what it is that they wish to get done. And so I think once people have those two thoughts in mind that this is a captured court, not a conservative court, and that the manner in which it is captured is akin to an intelligence type covert operation, then you can begin to think about what the solution is. Once you’ve identified the illness, you could begin to think about the cure.

The Scheme: How the Right Wing Used Dark Money to Capture the Supreme Court by Sheldon Whitehouse
If you want to understand the magnitude of the problem of the captured SCOTUS, you need look no farther than the next case on the docket for the SCOTUS:
As Hila Keren points out repeatedly in that episode, the principal that should be at the heart of this case is that the marketplace must remain open, not subjected to every single little objection that can be thrown up by various believing parties who come to the marketplace and want their beliefs to be honored without question while participating in the market.
The SCOTUS shouldn’t even be hearing this case because there is no real case to be heard here. There is no one who wants a website made by the plaintiff because the plaintiff doesn’t even offer that service in the first place. It is a case crafted to be heard by this SCOTUS; a SCOTUS that has been put in place by the very same people who crafted this case. This entire scheme is improper and should be derailed before these people make a mockery of our entire system of justice.
